Hey, howdy, and hello! I’m a singer-songwriter from Charlotte, NC currently based out of Brooklyn.
Birds (a Skylar McKee original)
Okay, enough about me!! I've been wanting to change things up a bit, and I also wasn't sure how to cap off this *very* eventful month...and in response to both of those challenges, Skylar was kind enough to offer up one of his original songs for the channel! The world absolutely needs more of Skylar's tunes in it - he's a fantastic writer and musical mind.

When you need to make videos rehearse and test for a livestream at the same time, you combine the tasks! This tune is on the EP, and I'm very partial to it. Now, the stream will be a little less polished than what you're hearing - I'll use some of the same effects, but since it will be live, I won't have quite as much control. But hopefully we're in the ballpark! Grab a "ticket" for as little a...

IT'S HAPPENING 🤯. TL;DR: I'm working on my first solo EP (a shorter-form album). The project will feature songs you've heard on this channel that have not received an official release, recorded live in my home studio and graced by the exceptional playing of Gabe Terracciano and William Carrigan...plus maybe a surprise guest. To offset some of the upfront costs of such an endeavor (since I'm jus...

How does this new tape saturation plugin work? 🤔 I quit drinking again - it’s been five days since Thursday My head’s caving in I’m so bored Feels sad to admit I’m a better man on medicine I’ll bring it...
My Back Pages (Bob Dylan Cover)
Просмотров 34 тыс.Месяц назад
One of the earliest Carson recordings is a cover of this song...probably still sitting on the hard drive of a dead mid-2000s iBook G4. That version, along with this version, was inspired by both Bob's original recording and The Byrds' uptempo, 4/4 approach. Also, to quote Han Solo, "sorry about the mess" - I'm working on some as-of-yet unannounced stuff in here, so I have a LOT of non-photogeni...

Prine on a roof in Oaxaca - a beautiful place to play music. I did have to do some dark magic to mix around the wind noise, but that was well worth it for the lovely evening. Special thanks to Amelia, Beth, Andrew, Bennett, Jeremy, and Laura for helping in a myriad of ways, from tripod steady-ing to shot-framing to wind-breaking.

My home studio is full of fun gear...but I let my perfectionism get the best of me sometimes and worry that I won't be able to make use of it all to convincingly tackle larger projects. So I devised an exercise to nudge me in that direction: write a simple instrumental piece featuring acoustic guitar, bass, and drums. The bass could be quarter notes. The tempo could be slow. Those details didn'...

I love arranging traditional tunes because there are SO many versions to pull inspiration from. It can be like a step beyond simply covering a song - I have a decent degree of control over how I want the story to unfold. Pick a verse here, omit a verse there. I even ended up adding some lyrics of my own this time around... Support and follow! Patreon: www.patreon.com/carsonmckee Instagram: inst...

Thanks to the fine folks at Audigo for sending me these two small but mighty mics! I've *really* put them through their paces and I love how simple it is to capture and edit great-sounding videos, especially on the go. Audigo is doing some truly unique work in the portable recording space - they wouldn't show up on my channel if I wasn't impressed. If you're interested in grabbing one (or multi...

good job men
Carson we all want to know how old you are here haha
I was a boy back in 94' when this came out. Didn't understand it then. Definitely do now. 😅
The 'cleanest dirty shirt' always makes me feel emotional for some reason.
I keep forgetting this is an original. It has such a warm nostalgic feel to it. Like the country music of old.
My daughter is now 24. My granddaughter is now 18.... I have had this song in the wings for so many years... But, my daughter-in-law is now turning 50! I'm going to sing this song to her. May she always be forever young... ❤❤❤
Awesome harmonies!
Daryl and Daryl and other brother. Daryl.
Wow!! That was great
Good one, Carson!
What tuning are you (Carson) using? I see the capo on fret 1, and it sounds like it might be a variation of open D tuning (so D# with capo).
Muito bom
I may have commented on this previously but I will repeat that this a great rendition of such a great song. Well done from a long time Hiatt fan.
🤦♂️ oh brother 😢 if you want to learn how Bob Dylan does it. Just check out his live performance. This video was lame!!!
Love great covers!!
Awesome job ! 👍
The joy on Carson’s face (“Believe me a momma”) is priceless. Love these guys.
Someone get him some milk!
You are blessed, Carson! Thank you for blessing us by sharing your beautiful music! ♥️
Beautiful sound, Carson. Beautiful.
So beautiful!!! I’ve got goosebumps ❤
As a person who has suffered and surfed the effects of OCD since early childhood I can personally attest to the brain imprinting that can happen when I’m learning something new. Having a song on endless loop when it’s one I want to learn drives the melody home plus I have been able to learn to play and replay snippets. A super power when it’s used for good. This might be the reason I’m drawn to music as it gives my brain opportunity to burn off excess mental energy. I feel for anyone with OCD and can appreciate how it feels for those fighting it like I did before i finally accepted my brain for what it is embraced it. Not all days are diamonds but Life is better and besides how many great people in history are one of us. Thank you Carson. I love your voice and manner. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Johnny Cash actually covered Vaughn Monroe's version.
A favorite 😊
Muito bom! Buenísimo! Very Good!
What an unleaded drive with Toni 😅

Bientôt 5 ans que je visualise vos partages de vidéos ... MERCI !!
Do more Dylan covers, its really good.
Yeah but no.
That was awesome ! I've been teaching my niece to play and I picked the same song to start with. Thanks !
*Crazy cuz I’ve been dying to ask Josh if he’ll cover “WANNA BE LIKE YOU”. - Louis Prima’s Jungle Book*
That was solid. Support live music !! thanks for sharing.
Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing. Very soothing voice, could listen to you all day.
Love this, Carson
Ok yall done won me over. Cover an obscure 90’s country song like this, got it
Anyone know if there's a version of "that kind of love" by itself on RUclips or even elsewhere?
okie dokie.
I want to see the bass player too ..
I wish he would do a Marty Tobins song.
I love listening to this. Such a gentle song.
Carson and Josh, great job,who is the third, is he your brother Carson.? Fantastic job fellas.
beautiful
